The post below is from Cake Wrecks. Now, I don't know this woman personally, but I think she's funny and I like her dedication to cynicism in the kitchen. Sometimes I disagree with her - the post with the head-stealing eyeball dolls is a great example.
Aren't they great? I.MUST.HAVE.THOSE.CAKES.Ahem. The eyeball people have NOTHING to do with degrees of separation. Well, there is some separation going on there, but it doesn't have anything to do with my post.
Back to Cake Wrecks. I like Cake Wrecks. I also like my friend Nancy. I was going to put a photo of her right here ** but I can't find any. I'm rather distraught, because although I am not the world's best correspondent, I do pride myself on being able to keep track of friends. I do have several very blurry photos of her younger daughter, but that's not quite the same thing, is it?
Nancy and I were neighbors in Rhode Island. We moved around the corner, she moved to Japan. She came back for a short visit, we picked her and the girls up on one end of Rt 91 and drove them back to the other...and then we moved to Sicily and they moved, well, from Okinowa closer to Tokyo.
Nancy sends great emails. She has put her quirky sense of humor and master's in French literary criticism to great use in detailing for us Americans the Japanese way of life.
A few months ago I received an email from Nancy telling me, and the rest of the recipients of her emails, that she had set up a blog. Big Harmony. (I don't get the title and I always look at it in my blogroll and think, "Do I know any polygamous families?")
Go on. Check out Big Harmony.
And scroll down on the right a little bit.
What's that you see? Cake Wrecks?
What a small world it is!
Ciao bella, Nancy!
(And, please! send me a photo!)

Charlotte! I found you. My trusty sitemeter led me to your front door...I had no idea you had a blog and have just spent a pleasant half hour reading both of them. I was surprised and delighted to see a shout out for my blog! Big Harmony, by the way, is the awkward but charming English translation for Yamato, an ancient name for Japan. Yeah, we don't swing on our porch...Anywho, I am adding you to my favorites. Drop me a line if you get a chance!
